This week's class for BYU
One of my favorite parts about Family History is finding unique ways to display my finds, especially the stories & photos that I happen upon...I feel like I constantly find new fun ways to share my family's history, so this class was designed to help you have that same kind of fun.

Kids Family Tree Book
So I had the coolest experience when I originally created this book about 4 years ago. I had been really wanting to find a way to get my kids engaged with their family tree, but they were 5 & 3--how . . . . ??
Then came one late night after attending a genealogy conference. I was struggling to sleep when the words to almost an entire poem just started coming together in my head, totally unsolicited (at least at that moment). The poem was what I ended up putting together into a book for the kids.
The gathering took some time, getting all the grandparents' input and all the photos together, but I used a program called Mixbook, and everything came together pretty slick. I ordered it and got it delivered in the mail a short time later.
When it came, I had a picnic with the kids and gave them the book as a present.
They've used it a lot. Ella has kept it in her church bag and they use it as a quiet book at church---SUCCESS!!
BUT--Here I find myself 3 years later, with a third kid, and of course the book is now where to be found. Since it's cheap enough, I just decided to update it and order a new one. A few minutes of finding some pictures and too much time being ticky-tacky later, and--voila-- I ordered it. It'll be here this weekend. Pretty slick!
